If your Iron Man 2 lust has you hungry for a snack, here’s a Ritz: a French behind-the-scenes featurette with a little new footage. Savor it, but not too much; otherwise you’ll feel weird when you see a mostly-naked Mickey Rourke on a cot.

Iron Man is back, and this time he’s brought along his buddy, Grey Iron Man with Bonus Gun Attachment. There are now Iron Men! And believe me, we’re going to need them both to fight off Russian Whip Man:

Entertainment Tonight, still somehow respected enough by movie studios to be granted exclusives, will be airing new footage from Iron Man 2 tomorrow (or maybe tonight, since this is probably from yesterday?). Here’s a trailer for that, featuring Don Cheadle the Robot shooting things with a giant gun conveniently placed on his shoulder, where it’s most likely to deafen him:

It’s amazing what he’ll build when you give Richie Sambora a few months off tour. ‘Iron Man 2′ Poster Reveal [Apple]

At first glance, seems like a pretty standard Iron Man 2 poster: Iron Man suit, Tony Stark, that blue nebula Iron Man always seems to exist in. But what if we take Robert Downey Jr.’s intense glare and remove the powerful uniform we’re all so familiar with. Could this image still work as a poster? As it turns out, yes, but as an entirely different movie’s poster:

So Iron Man teams up with Terminator this time? I don’t understand your movies, grandson!!! ‘Iron Man 2′ Poster [Yahoo]

From the new Empire Magazine cover: it’s Iron Man’s new suit! I guess it’s a new suit? I can’t say I really notice a difference. Though, I often don’t notice when my own clothing is partially unbuttoned; horribly stained; missing sleeves; actually a wet sack I’ve punched armholes through; made of the stained, matted human hair I had been using as bedding but slowly evolved to wearing, first as a sort of shawl, later as a full suit; etc. So I’m probably not the best guy to be determining if an outfit has been altered. And it’s not even my duty. It’s each man’s own individual responsibility to determine if there are enough changes in a superhero’s sequel costume to warrant buying a new set of action figures. PS: I’m posting from a plane (hello, future) and my computer battery is rapidly dying. So if you don’t hear from me again today, now you know why. Terrorists.

The entertainment/gossip foghorn known as Entertainment Tonight visited the set of Iron Man 2 and shouted back this five-minute segment about the superhero sequel. As usual, ET ’s loud, crack team of reporters asked the questions that matter. Like whether or not Scarlett Johansson is considered attractive by the male crew, and if Gwenyth Paltrow brought the child she and Coldplay decided to name Apple to the set. Answers, including Paltrow struggling to say “archetypical,” await!

For his second Iron Man film, Jon Favreau could be taking things to the next level! That level being the level of visual depth. According to AICN , 3-D decision-makers at Paramount and Marvel/Disney are reviewing a minute of Iron Man 2 3-D test footage to determine if Scarlett Johansson’s breasts erupting from the screen warrants converting the entire film to the gimmicky format. Something else you executives should weigh into you decision: if you make Iron Man 2 in 3-D, that totally blows your shot at using the Iron Man 3-D 3rd film/3rd dimension naming structure. Someone needs to uphold the grand traditions of Spy Kids 3-D and Jaws 3-D .

Sitting around your house shirtless, watching the half-hour afternoon edition of Howie Mandel’s Pick-a-Box while alternately refreshing Craigslist’s job section and the lastname.firstname email account you created to seem more professional to potential employers? You’re in luck! The Stark Industries Stark Industries website now has a job application you can fill out (Tony Stark apparently hates formal resumes). Seeing that Stark Industries is not a real company, you probably won’t get hired, but there is a bright side: “Information you provide through this website may be used for marketing purposes”! So maybe they’ll send you an exclusive Iron Man 2 postcard or something that you could sell for a few dollars on eBay, giving you just enough for one more precious box of White Rose macaroni and cheese to get you through the week.
